If I put the concealer on, will it show im using the concealer? Or do I rub it in and it goes invisible? Is the concealer colour the same skin colour?

If you're that desperate you can get treatment to freeze it off.

Minor. But tell the doctor he will refer you to a specialist.

If you rub it in you can't see that you're using it. You should just get the same shade as your skin

You have to find your skin colour shade, i can't tell you.
From your picture though you're likely to around the classic ivory area.

I think you really need to see your GP to discuss possible mental health issues. It's a mole. A mole. Why are you so obsessed with it? OCD?

Can it stain clothes? And can it hide acne scarring on shoulders too?

No it won't stain. Just rub it in properly.
Yes it can hide acne scarring.

Rock your moles/freckles. I have a mixture of 23 freckles/moles on one arm. I look like a bit teabag, but that's okay. :smile:

Hmm. If I take more pics would you be able to tell me the shade I need?

I can try.
Take one of your cheek too (you don't have too show your face) and your wrist and another of your leg.

This is just a guess from the picture but even if it's not a perfect match it'll still be fine as long as you blend it with your fingers. It will be unnoticeable.

Hard Candy Glamoflage - Go with Light

Maybelline Fit me - 10 or 15. Either will do since i have two different shades in fit me and both work fine for acne scarring. You may want to go for 15 though since you're trying to cover up a fairly dark brown spot.

Mac Pro long wear - NC15 or NC20

Mac Select Cover up - NC15 or NC20

If it doesn't make your feel too girly I'd recommend buying some wedges for £2 or so as it helps with blending it out with your skin - only if you don't get the hang of it with your fingers though (which is very easy)

So frustrating!! Ive tried 2 different concealer colours. Ivory 001 and classic. But they dont seem to be a match. Ivory is very close but its not the right shade and I really have to try and blend it in and be very precise what im doing. Also if I look at it from above I can see where ive put it on. Is that normal? Not sure how it is when being directly looked at since I cant do that. Do I need another colour? If so what one? Thanks

oh my god, you're still on this? :confused::eek:

Okay, how are you blending it out? tell me what you're doing.
You can be close to your shade or fairly far away from it and not see it and all if you do it correctly.

Im blending it in with my finger after I apply it with the chapstick thing.

Try getting a cheap beauty blender.

You really just need to use your fingers and it should be fine, its on your leg after all.

I definitely second Hard Candy Glamoflage - I've never personally used it since i don't have anything epic to conceal but i know its amazing. USA though so it'll be a wait. The most expensive when you include shipping but still under £20. The most effective

Maybelline Fit me - much cheaper and pretty okay for concealing most things. You can apply more and more too. The cheapest + the least effective

Mac Pro long wear - The best in my opinion (not including hard candy) - i have this and the fit me right now and this does much more - but slightly pricer.

Mac Select Cover up - As with all MAC's its covered up pretty much all my scars (which is a lot worse that your mole as reference)

Good luck.
1. You will only need a tip to cover that up - don't waste it.


Whaaaat haha? He doesn't need MAC concealer to hide one tiny freckle.. that's far too expensive!

OP, just pop into boots, grab yourself some Rimmel concealer (£3.99) and wipe a bit into the freckle. It shouldn't really even matter that much which shade is PERFECT for your skintone since you're not using it on your face... just pick up any medium-light one (ivory perhaps).

Honestly though, nobody but yourself notices it and no it does not affect your everyday life...

If you look back he was pretty adamant that he wanted it perfectly hidden.

I was saying to him that a shade or two wrong won't be noticeable but apparently he can see it. I normally have a shade behind my normally skin tone and you can't see it (on my face) so i'm super confused as to what's kind of super freckle this is.
